Happy Birthday, Sonic!

Today is Sonic the Hedgehog’s 20th Anniversary! Sonic is special to me because not only is it a fantastic game series, he is one of my first memories. I remember seeing a giant billboard for the first Sonic Sega Megadrive game outside the Normid Supermarket, which has since been demolished! I also have Sonic & Tails bookends on my bookcase, handmade for me by my boyfriend at Christmas.

Excitingly, to celebrate Sonic’s birthday, they are releasing a demo later on today of the new game ‘Sonic Generations’ that is to be released later this year. The demo will only work until July, so make sure you check it out soon if you’re interested. The demo is available on Xbox 360 and
PS3. There will also be a version of the game released for 3DS, of which I have just bought one to play the amazing Zelda remake, but that’s another story. 🙂

When I saw that you’d said it was Sonic’s 20th birthday, it made my Mum feel old.
I remember having a MegaDrive and playing Sonic games endlessly, along with all the other classics. I never liked the new DS games but I do like the Kinect Free Riders game (well from what I’ve played in the demo).
Also, when I was younger, we used to have two cats called Sonic and Tails.
And yes, the 3DS is another story completely. 😀
